Three Stars: Chabot, Johnson, Presingular earn honours

MacEwan Athletics

EDMONTON – Men's hockey student-athlete Kadyn Chabot is the MacEwan Athletics' first star of the week after recording three points in a weekend road series at Regina.

The third-year forward scored the game-winner in Saturday's 6-1 victory over the Cougars – the first of two goals the Griffins tallied in a span of seven seconds for the third-fastest mark in Canada West history.

Women's hockey goaltender Lindsey Johnson and men's basketball point guard Diego Presingular are the second and third stars of the week, respectively.

It's the first appearance of 2025-26 on the Three Stars list for both Chabot and Presingular, while Johnson is making the list for the third time after third-star honours Oct. 14 and a second star nod Oct. 28.

MacEwan's leading scorer drove the bus in the Griffins' huge 6-1 win over Regina on Saturday, scoring twice and adding an assist.

Chabot scored the game-winning goal late in the first period by finishing off an odd-man rush pass from Sam Simard with a gorgeous one-timer. 

It was the first of two goals by the Griffins in seven seconds as Brody Tallman scored right after the faceoff – the fastest pair of goals by a single team in more than 11 years in Canada West and the third-fastest all-time.

Chabot, who also set up Logan Dowhaniuk's opening powerplay tally, scored again in the second period to put the Griffins up 4-0 when he wired home Vincent Scott's pass on a tee.

For the weekend, Chabot finished with seven shots and went +2. He also scored a goal in Friday's shootout, which doesn't count in the stats.

For the season, Chabot is up to a team-leading 12 points in 12 games.

The Griffins return home this weekend as they host the UBC Thunderbirds twice – on Friday (7 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m., both Downtown Community Arena, Canada West TV).

Continuing her strong first semester, the fourth-year goaltender stopped 29 of 30 shots she faced in MacEwan's 1-0 loss to Regina on Saturday.

Johnson did all she could to give her team a chance to win the game, including a breakaway stop on Regina's Brooke Fofonoff, but they ultimately couldn't score.

For the season, Johnson is among the Canada West leaders with a 2.03 GAA and .935 save percentage. Her save percentage is tied for sixth in the conference.

The Griffins hit the road for a pair of games this weekend at UBC (Friday, 8 p.m. MT and Saturday, 4 p.m. MT, both Canada West TV).

With his overall production in two weekend games topping the team, Presingular was a big reason why the Griffins gave the undefeated Thompson Rivers WolfPack a run for their money.

In Friday's 69-47 loss, the second-year point guard led the team with 10 points in 29 minutes on the court, adding one rebound, one assist and one steal.

In Saturday's narrow 65-64 defeat, Presingular again hit double digits in scoring with 11 points, while notching five assists, two rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes of action.

For the season, Presingular is the Griffins' co-leading scorer (alongside Marcus ISO Moore), averaging 11.0 points/game. He also leads the team in assists/game (3.2).

The Griffins hit the road this weekend to Calgary, visiting the Mount Royal Cougars on Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (7 p.m., both Canada West TV).
